The invention` relates to devices conunonly designated as drawer-pullswhich nrc nttached to a receptacle contained in a cabinet, etc., in sucha manner that access to it is had h v drawing or sliding." it outhorizontally in its guides or frame y means of said man- `ually actuateddevice.

The invention also comprises means for holding cards, and isparticularly adapted for use in connection with card index cabinets, asit is adapted to serve not only as means for opening the drawer, butalso to retain the cards in position by means of a rod extendinginwardly from the drawer pull proper upon which thc cards may bemounted, the outer end of the rod tern1inating in a knob which may besecurely fastened to the front portion of the drawer.

To attainthe desired end the invention consists in the construction andarrangement of parts hereinafter particularly described and shown in thedrawings attached hereto and forming a part of this specification,illustrative ot one embodiment of the in vention, and in which- 'Figure1 is a partial sectional view of a drawer of a cabinet equippedwith---my improved pull; Fig. 2 is an elevation of the rod thereforbefore being operated upon; tig. 3 is an elevation of the llatter withnotches punched in the sido portions thereof; Fig. 4 is n: view insection of the h/,ead

oivknob of thil pull having duplex concentric bores'made therein: Fig. 5is a View partly in section showing; thc'two opposite side p01'- tiohs'of the inner bore upset to enga e the notchesin'the rod: Fig. 6 is asectionn view t'an ex'teriorly threaded sleeve madeI with and lt`ig. 7is a view partly intsection of the ossembied device showingr the treaded sleeve mounted on the rod, and the ri of the outer bore of theknob upset n's to cngaigetlio said angular head of the Like numerals ofreference indicate like parts in all thil views.

lieten-ring particularly to the drawings l li-notes a drawer haring allore at the from. and roar portions ihcroot respectively con strluztrdand urn-inged to contain the inner rnd of a rod Il and an internallythreaded bushing ln order to adapty tht` rod ll to serre for thilpurpose drsiiwl. l take a cylindrical rod of thc desired size. asillustrated in Fig. il, and form. prrl'i-rahly hy punching, at at h-astour and prrlrrallly two opposite side portions thi-root ,odiar-ent tothe front end ol' tlul sanw, flaring: notrhcs t. as shown in Fig. Il.Thr` knoll il is prrtoraljnly nimh' with two i'ollfulitl'lr lnirrs orrecesses t3 und, (et dillrront dianirtrrs. thil inner one tir-ingpreferably snmllr-.r than thcI outer ont,l t3.

A stepped sleeve 1U vtoi-mord with an exterior thread on the rear ondthereof and having an enlarged angular and preferably hexagonal head 1lis now slid onto the rod Il, and the angular head 11 inserted in thegroove (l, after which the bur 7 is upset at at least one part. thereofand preferably around the cnt'ire circumference of the same so as to lioagainst. and inclosc the rear end of the head ll. in order'to securelyand permanently tasten the rod 3, sleeve 10 and knob together in a rigidrelation. The rod 2l thus has au enlarged medial portion the rear cud ofwhichl is threaded, andfhas at least one notch t formed in thc same atits front. end and beyond the front portion of the head 1l of thotioncomprising the sleeve 10.
